Verizon To Publish Reports On NSA Data Requests

2 years ago

(NEWSER) – The NSA's ability to continue its tech snooping as in the pre-Snowden days just took another hit. Verizon promises to start publishing reports on all the data requests it gets from the government and law-enforcement agencies, reports Reuters. The first online report will be out early next year. Given that Verizon is the nation's biggest wireless provider, the Washington Post sees this as "setting a significant precedent" in the telecom industry—and it will surely raise pressure on AT&T to follow suit.
